Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0911235A2] In a device for presuming pressure of a pressure accumulator (48) prepared for accumulating a fluid under a compression of an elastic pressurization medium to selectively supply the fluid therefrom at a raised pressure with a timely supplement of the fluid thereto by a pump (38), the device has a first pressure switch (SW1) for detecting a first predetermined pressure level of the accumulator (48) and a second pressure switch (SW2) for detecting a second predetermined pressure level of the accumulator (48) higher than the first pressure level, and a pressure increase gradient (Kacc) is calculated based upon the difference between the first and second pressure levels and the time duration lapsed for pumping up the pressure from the first pressure level to the second pressure level. <IMAGE>
